Some new wheels for a North Texan who went above and beyond to help others after he was involved in the Fort Worth massive pileup.

You remember that huge crash on I-35 W in Fort Worth following the ice storm Feb 11th? More than 100 vehicles were involved, including one driven by MedStar paramedic Trey McDaniel who was headed to work.

McDaniel was hurt in the crash and his Toyota FJ cruiser was totaled. He managed to crawl out of the wreckage and started doing what paramedics do, helping others. He says adrenaline kicked in and he just started doing what he's trained to do.

After hearing about his heroics, Toyota wanted to reward him with a new car. The FJ cruiser is out of production so today McDaniel picked up his brand new Toyota 4 runner in Grapevine.
